Our Goliath

Our Daily Struggles
It Is Not Easy

“A quiet classroom, but loud hope.”

The Goliath she faces

In Suba, a girl’s journey to education is one of immense hardship. She must fight through:

Child labourWork in the fishing industry, which is rampant.
Early marriage & GBVEarly pregnancies, teenage marriages and gender-based violence — her everyday realities.
No books or uniformsEducation difficulties due to lack of basic educational materials like books and uniforms.
Poverty & poor schoolsWidespread poverty, limited access to healthcare and poor school infrastructure.

The weight of it

50%live in extreme poverty
34%of the population living with HIV
#1highest new HIV infection rate in Kenya

Over 50% of the population lives in extreme poverty, making basic needs like education, healthcare and sanitation secondary priorities. HIV/AIDS has further ravaged the community, with over 34% of the population infected and Suba recording the highest new infection rate in Kenya. Many children have been orphaned and now live with elderly, often illiterate grandparents, leaving them vulnerable to exploitation and social stigma.

These conditions have led to high rates of school dropouts and a deep undervaluing of education. Girls frequently lack access to basic necessities such as sanitary pads, school uniforms, books and shoes — essentials that should never stand in the way of a child’s right to learn.

Girls in Suba

Despite these overwhelming odds, our girls still dream big — and Nyasuba Foundation is here to ensure they have a fighting chance.

The girl we’re raising

We believe every child deserves a chance to dream, to learn, to grow, and to be heard. At Nyasuba Foundation, we aim to restore that chance. Our goal is to nurture a girl who is:

Empowered physically, mentally, health-wise and emotionally
Confident in her identity and potential
Equipped with knowledge, leadership and life skills
Resilient enough to break barriers
Curious and wise enough to embrace learning
Humble and values-driven enough to embody respect, discipline and leadership

Her future begins with a chance. Your support makes it possible.

We are here to raise a generation of girls who dare to dream and are strong enough to achieve.
